I'm confused: what is it the anniversary of? I mean I get why Windows 10 1607 is called the anniversary update (it was released one year after the initial windows 10 release), but what about 4.10 is an anniversary for the Linux kernel?

Last year was 25th anniversary of linux, so maybe Linus remember of something 5 months after that which might be even more valuable than first message

So then -- Linux 25th Anniversary Edition
